Worth stopping for
Captain James Cook Memorial
On the way to…
The mapped historic monument and lookout above the city, with the Captain James Cook Lookout Path threading the headland around it. Cook charted this bay before he charted the Pacific; the view down the Humber Arm explains why the survey mattered. Ten minutes of climbing streets buys the whole geography.
Stopping here adds about 10 min and 4.5 km to that drive (47 min door to door).

The map last touched this element on 2021-10-20 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.
All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.
